\\\"...just because the exact conditions of the fictional world are not like the real world does not automatically make the story a Space Whale Aesop. A Space Whale Aesop is for when no part of the message, at all, could apply to real life. For instance, Captain America: The Winter Solider had a clear message (as stated by Word of God) about government surveillance and overreach, and that\\\'s a lesson that doesn\\\'t require giant flying battleships in order to exist. It isn\\\'t a Space Whale Aesop, because the core point of the aesop is one that is connected to real life.\\\"
We can sum up the core element of a superhero as \\\"an extraordinary person who fights crime or performs feats of heroism that ordinary people cannot\\\" (my own words). Superheroes don\\\'t even need to have superpowers (see: Batman, Kick-Ass) because powers aren\\\'t what make a superhero. What makes a superhero is their ability to fight battles that are difficult, if not impossible, for anyone else.
